It was a Perfect Time to have a Family Photo Moment .. so We took Advantage!! For those that aren't sure who everyone is.. The Plaid shirt is Wesley , Bonnie is in the black shirt, and Danielle is in the Grey shirt .... The rest of us you should be able to Recognize.. well I hope so anyways!

Christmas 2009

For every parent who thinks they do not have enough .. we are one of them this year.. We looked at everything we had a few days before christmas and said..."Wow we don't have much?" But between the two of us it seems like by Christmas we had too much .. but to see the faces of your children on Christmas Morning..... What is too Much????

Magical Christmas Dust

This was one of the girls favorite things this year. Kaitlyn recieved it from school .. it was Oatmeal with Glitter.. When I find the note that went with it I will post it .. but for now we know that it helps the reindeer find their way to our house !! It was such a treat to see them on Christmas Eve and yes they ran out of the house in Gregs Shoes!!! haha it was Fun!!!

2nd Annual Gingerbread House Competition!

BLIZZARD of 2009

For any of you who have not experienced Winter in Virginia... Believe me you never want to! So when the weather men start predicting a storm we all look at eachother and say ..Yay right! But this weekend they were right on! We got a BLIZZARD ! It came in on Friday night and snowed all day on Saturday to make our total 21.5 inches ! It is a mess.. Fun for a few minutes but when it comes to life ...people do not deal with snow well on the East Coast! I guess it is a good thing that the girls are out of school for the holidays because this would have cancelled school for a week ! One fun fact though is we have not had a "White Christmas" for twenty years and this is here to stay for awhile! YIPEE!!

Thanks for Dinner ....Our Thanksgiving!

So many of you know that this years Thanksgiving was not what we had planned. It all started about a week before Thanksgiving when Haylee started not feeling well and had a high fever. I was MOD for the weekend and so Greg took her into the clinic to find out she had Strep throat ..started her on antibiotics and thought she would just get better, but not my children of course , she got worse! So back to the doctor we went when her fever peaked to 104.7 ! Wouldnt you know she had Pnemonia, pretty bad by this time, so yet again another antibiotics and treatments round the clock. Well while all this is happening Kaitlyn started not feeling well , so yep we started her on antibiotics.... So as you may have guessed by now we had to cancel our plans for Thanksgiving dinner. But Thankfully Gregs mom was gracious enough to let us come and get it in to go containers.. So there you have it Our Dinner out of tupperware!!! Thanks Mama! Also I just need to add how thankful I am for modern medicine and for the Drs that dont always get it right the first time but always in the end my children feel better!

Halloween 2009

Highlights of Halloween

• Kaitlyn was obsessed with being a Red Devil! (Thank you walmart for having it in stock)
• Haylee went from being a kitty to Spiderwoman , I think it fits her though!
• Kaitlyn broke out in poision ivy all over her face which she has to put medicine on so the face paint is really not part of the whole costume!
• We found a new neighborhood with a lot of houses , which was great we were done in a little over an hour!
• It rained, and rained, but didnt bother the girls (side not: Red spray paint and rain dont mix!)
